Abstract
An evaluation circuit forms quotients based on the detected wheel speeds and compares the quotients to each other. Depending on the results of the comparison, a signal which represents the condition of the tires is generated, which signal activates a display for the benefit of the driver. In a preferred embodiment, the rate of change of the quotients over time is also determined to provide a basis for signal generation.
